Studies on the weldability of ferritic stainless steel grades suggests that low heat input rate and better heat transfer dynamics are appropriate for the control of grain size and microstructural feature in thin sections. However, the optimal welding conditions to achieve combination of such characteristics have yet to be established. In the presen

The acquisition of Surface Electromyography (SEMG) signals is used for many applications including the diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases, and prosthesis control. The diagnostic quality of the SEMG signal is highly dependent on the conditioning circuit of the SEMG acquisition system. This paper presents the design of an SEMG conditioning circuit t

In the present work, 3 mol% Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) composite containing 25 wt.% of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) was prepared via pressureless sintering method in an inert atmosphere over the temperature range of 1350-1550°C for one hour. The effect of zirconium diboride content in the zirconia matrix, as well as the sintering t

15th November 2009 marked the tenth anniversary of the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (the CPA), which was introduced with the noble idea of providing better protection to consumers in Malaysia. The CPA covers all the main areas of consumer protection such as supply of goods, supply of services, product safety and liability and redress mechanism. The

There has been major legislative reform and development in the area of consumer protection in Malaysia for the past 10 years. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 which came into being at the end of 1999 was the milestone for the development. Subsequently, the National Consumer Policy was introduced in 2002 with the aims, inter alia to strengthen the l

Most halogenated compounds are major environmental pollutants. Pollution from industrial chemicals and herbicide/pesticide from agricultural activities cause problem to the society. The main objectives were to isolate and characterize the bacterium that can grow in halogenated substrate as the sole source of carbon. A common microbiological and mol

The last decade has witnessed an increasing research trend on foreign language reading anxiety as a skill related to but distinct from foreign language anxiety. However, sources of foreign language reading anxiety have rarely been investigated. Thus, the current study responds to the study by (Saito, Horwitz, & Garza, 1999) and extends the work

Apostasy in Arabic word is referred to Riddah or Irtidad; which means “to retreat, to retire, to withdraw from or fall back from . Thus, In Islamic Law it is declared that apostasy is going away from Islam or leaving Religion of Islam to another religion or ism which is not acceptable by Allah. However, if someone changes his religion from Judais

Electromagnetic actuated continuously variable transmission (EMA-CVT) system consists of two pairs of electromagnetic actuators (solenoid) attached with primary and secondary pulley in order to develop the attraction and repulsive forces. Kinematics of EMA is established for electromagnetic actuation and clamping force. This study also focused on f

Binding energy of the ground state, energy levels and the B(E2) values of both positive and negative parities for 203,205Au, 203,205Hg, 203-207Tl and 203-207Pb isotopes have been calculated through shell model calculations using the shell model code OXBASH for Windows by employing the Modified Kuo-Herling interaction (khhe) for neutron and proton h
